Getting to travel as a team is one of the many exciting privileges of swimming with the Marlins of Raleigh Swim Team. This is where friendships are made, team bonding occurs, and fun memories are forged. Along with this privilege comes responsibility.

Because we are traveling as a team, individual wants sometimes need to take a 
back seat to the needs of the whole team.  Do not expect things to be just as they 
are when you are traveling with  your family.  The ability to adapt to unforeseen 
circumstances is key to a successful team trip.  The coaching staff is in charge 
of the trip and swimmers must understand this.  

While it is important for swimmers to call and communicate with their parents 
on a trip, swimmers must plan ahead so as not to miss curfew.  These rules 
are designed for the swimmer’s safety and so the swimmer’s may have the 
most enjoyable and fast swim meet experience possible.

  Coaches will determine room assignments.  You are all part of a team and 
      should treat all teammates with respect.
  Strict Curfews will be set by the coaching staff for each night.
  No alcohol, cigarettes or drugs will be tolerated.  Being in the same area 
      with others that are using or possessing these substances is considered a 
      violation.
  Rooms will be left in a presentable state.
  Over zealous horseplay that may result in personal or property damage is not 
      permitted.
  Always be prompt and wear your suits and team attire to the pool.
  Never leave the hotel complex alone or without letting the coach know.
  A male and female will not be in a room alone together.  You are at the 
      meet to swim.  Save romance for home.
  You are representing MOR at all times, so make a positive impression at all 
      times.
  Violations may result in but are not limited to:
  Being scratched from events
  Being sent home by bus at parents expense
  Not being allowed to travel with the team
  Being removed from the team
